He's got a point.
But maybe the question should be: why the fuck are the cops shooting people before they even know what is going on or who is who?
Sen. Marco Rubio Counters Trump, Opposes Arming Teachers for School Safety
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/21/sen-marco-rubio-counters-trump-opposes-arming-teachers-for-school-safety/

In a week highlighted by the national gun control debate, the court ruled that a North Carolina man who pleaded guilty to illegal firearm possession may still appeal his conviction on constitutional grounds.
The case began on May 30, 2013, when police suspicions were aroused by a jeep illegally parked in an employees-only lot on the U.S. Capitol grounds. When owner Rodney Class returned and refused to allow a search, Capitol Police obtained a warrant and found two loaded pistols, a rifle and extra magazines of ammunition.
Questioned by the FBI at Capitol Police headquarters, Class identified himself as a "constitutional bounty hunter" and "private attorney general" who traveled the country with guns and other weapons to enforce federal law against judges whom he believed had acted illegally.
A federal grand jury indicted him on a single count of unlawfully carrying firearms on the Capitol grounds. He eventually pleaded guilty, but he later appealed the conviction, contending the law under which he was convicted is unconstitutional.
The lower courts said that by pleading guilty, he gave up his right to appeal. But on Wednesday the Supreme Court ruled that a guilty plea does not mean a citizen automatically loses his right to bring a constitutional challenge to the law under which he was prosecuted.
Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for the six-justice majority, observed that while Class, in pleading guilty, did waive his right to appeal his conviction, the plea agreement did not contain an explicit waiver of his right to bring a challenge based on his claim that the ban on weapons at the Capitol violated his Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas, wrote a dissent four pages longer than the majority opinion. In those pages, he angrily accused the majority of creating a useless "muddle" that will "bedevil" the lower courts for years to come.

The National Rifle Association says any legislation aimed at raising the age requirement for rifle and shotgun purchases would deprive young Americans their constitutional right to self-protection.
Federal law already prohibits those under the age of 21 from purchasing handguns from licensed gun dealers.
But some have proposed a similar limit on rifles and shotguns in the wake of last week's Florida shooting.
NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker says, "We need serious proposals to prevent violent criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from acquiring firearms," but says raising the age requirement on shotguns and rifles from 18 to 21 would punish "law-abiding citizens for the evil acts of criminals."

Florida Deputies Will Now Carry Rifles On School Grounds: Broward Sheriff
Broward County Deputies will begin carrying rifles on school grounds in the wake of last week's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, according to Broward Sheriff Scott Israel.
“This morning, I implemented a practice within the Broward Sheriff’s Office and spoke to Mr. Runcie and he’s fully cooperative of my decision, that our deputies who are qualified and trained will be carrying rifles on school grounds from this point forward,” Israel said in a Wednesday press conference.
"Schools as soft targets need to be fortified," said the Sheriff, who said that officers would safely secure weapons when not in use. "When they are not carrying the rifle, until we look for gun locks and gun lockers, the only place when they're not slinging the rifle, that will be allowed to be stored, will be in their locked police vehicle," Israel said.

— KION News 5 46 (@KION546) February 21, 2018 When asked by a reporter if AR-15s will be carried, Israel said that some would. "It will be done safely," replied Israel, "We need to be able to defeat any threat that comes onto campus."
Israel also discussed the fact that Marjory Stoneman Douglas' School Resource Deputy was on campus the day of the shooting:
“Deputy Peterson was on campus. As you all know, he’s the School Resource Deputy. He was armed. As our command staff moves forward in this investigation the response and actions of Deputy Peterson will be looked at and scrutinized as will everyone.”

President Trump suggested that arming teachers would be an effective method of preventing future school shootings while sitting down for a listening session on school shootings at the White House on Wednesday.
"If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly, and the good thing about a suggestion like that -- and we're going to be looking at it very strongly, and I think a lot of people are going to be opposed to it. I think a lot of people are going to like it. But the good thing is you're going to have a lot of people with that," said the President.

— Josh Caplan (@joshdcaplan) February 21, 2018 Trump said that athletic director at Stoneman Douglas High School, Chris Hixon, had "saved a lot of lives," however if he had been armed, he could have saved more.
"He wouldn't have had to run, he would have shot, and that would have been the end of it," he said, adding that he only supported concealed carry for people "adept" with guns.
Trump also knocked gun-free zones around schools.
"A gun-free zone to a maniac, because they're all cowards, a gun-free zone is 'let's go in and attack,'" he said. "I really believe if these cowards knew that the school was well-guarded from the standpoint of pretty much having professionals with great training, I think they wouldn't go into the schools to start with, it would pretty much solve your problem."

AWB, bump stock bans, gun owner restraining orders, now new age restrictions.
Getting all the gun control done that couldn't get done under Obama.
Way to go GOP and Trump.
Report: Trump Open to Raising ‘Minimum Age for Owning Certain Firearms’

ZeroHedge review:
The former director of the FBI has assembled a "dream team" of investigators for his Special Counsel probe and concluded that 13 Russians and 3 entities tried to meddle in the election after an entire year of investigation.
Those efforts had zero impact on the election
Facebook's VP of ads is on record saying "I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal"
The same FB Exec noted that most of the ads were purchased after the election.
Suggesting that the real, underlying narrative is one of US media propaganda, he was then made to walk back his comments and apologize for his "uncleared thoughts"
CNN is rooting around in the trash outside the troll farm.

In an announcement that, in many ways, mirrors the sudden departure of former Lululemon Chairman and CEO Laurent Potdevin earlier this month, Ford announced late Wednesday that Raj Nair, an executive vice president and the president of Ford North America, would be leaving "effective immediately" due to unspecified reports of "inappropriate behavior."
An internal review determined that certain behavior by Nair was "inconsistent" with Ford's code of conduct.
"We made this decision after a thorough review and careful consideration," said Ford President and CEO Jim Hackett. "Ford is deeply committed to providing and nurturing a safe and respectful culture and we expect our leaders to fully uphold these values."
Nair said he "sincerely regrets" his actions...

I see this mostly happening in Europe, but do see an encouraging US story every once in awhile. A publication called https://www.thenewspaper.com collects the stories. These are incidents from January & February 2018 (so far):
France: Anti-Camera Protests Grow, Speed Cameras Disabled
...vigilantes in France use duct tape and paint to stop automated ticketing.
Vigilantes burned, blew up and painted speed cameras in Saudi Arabia, France and Italy last week
France, Italy: Speed Cameras Destroyed In Protest

I just hope you don't get trolled hard about it. I'm sure you've seen that we have some foaming-at-the-mouth anti-Christian crusaders here. Kill 'em with kindness. Honestly, I think you'll be left alone because of the good work you're doing. Need moar do-gooders!

“Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. We know that if someone offers to show us a film on how our meat is produced, it will be a horror film. We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory-- disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own.”
